It's very convenient how having a monopoly can excuse all sorts of
things, isn't it?
o Off-the-shelf software not working?
o Off-the-shelf hardware not working?
o More expensive computers?
o Unusable documents?
It's not poor *Microsoft's* fault that they are so successful... it's
just the unavoidable barrier to entry that they (haven't?) erected.

Ah, so we have just added another reason where killing is justified
in Roberto's book.
Justified killing:
1. self defense
2. killing a rapist in the act of raping
3. .... will there be more?...
.
.
.
5. Killing as an act of war?

It is always possible to find a configuration that fails for any OS and
it is equally always possible to make a better installer.
My point was that that Windows comes with most PC's, while Linux is
usually installed by the end-user. Most end-users don't have to
install Windows at all, and if they do it is from a "recovery" disk
that is pre-configured for their machine. If Linux was widely sold the
same way then you won't be here talking about how hard it is to
install.

I occasionally have cause to explain this to People In Suits,
usually with regard to network protocols. What I use is:
"It takes 30 minutes to drive to the airport, and 30 minutes
to get back. Nontheless, more than one person per hour can go to the

collar of the suit.

#1) it's NOT every time you upgrade your hardware
#2) it's incredibly easy and fast
#3) if it reduces piracy so that prices for software fall - I'm all for it -
